A change in Me

i've always been one to have his head on straight
maybe i've done a few things that was quite irate
but regaurdless i've always kept my faith
even when life was'nt so great.
to me growing up in charleston was'nt so bad
had just about everything any other kid had
a wonderful mom and a decent stepdad
even though i did things to constantly make them mad
i've always had good teachers and preachers and such
between my mom and them i 'd learned so much
and even the feel of God glorious touch
to whom i knew i could rely on when life got rough
then i moved away from the country
because i figured that was'nt the place for me
there was so many things i had to do and see
so i decided to move to the big city
for me as a youngster i was so amazed
i got myself into so much,in them days
totally forgetting to give God his praise
and Lord knows this was'nt the way i was raised
i started looking at my life and the situation i was in
knowing i;ve commited so many sins
pretty much lost all my friends
thinking to myself is this how it's going to end
now the question that was really in demand
was why have i strayed so far from life's plan
it was even hard for my mom to understand
why i had become such a changed man
but right when i thought i nothing else
God stepped in and said son i never left
i was just waitin on you to ask for my help
but you had to experince things for yourself
then i was hit with a dose of reality
and it feel so good to be set free
knowing i have the love and support of my family
and with him i can be all that i can be
